Parents urged to speak out about child care in N.B.

New Brunswick parents are being invited to complete an online survey on child care in the province, as part of public consultations being conducted by a task force on the issue.

The task force has been meeting with child-care operators and educators throughout the province.

Its mandate is to find a way to create the right conditions for child care and to suggest ways to address the challenges parents face in obtaining access to high-quality and affordable child-care services.

The survey, which is available online until November 2, will give parents and guardians a chance to speak out about what kind of child care they are looking for, what they have found, what works and what doesn’t work in the current system.
